US renews warning to citizens against travelling to Lebanon

  • Lebanon: Wednesday, September 19 - 2012 at 10:50

The US State Department has updated its travel warning to Lebanon amid a convulsion of anti-American outrage in the Middle East, and suspended grants to Americans wishing to study in the country, AFP has reported. The travel advisory highlighted a spate of recent kidnappings of foreigners in the country by different groups and clans, and the tensions caused by the conflict in Syria. "US citizens living and working in Lebanon should understand that they accept risks in remaining and should carefully consider those risks," the advisory said. "US citizens travelling or residing in Lebanon despite this travel warning should keep a low profile, assess their personal security, and vary times and routes for all required travel," it added.
